This essential core text introduces readers to metaphysics. In thoughtful and engaging prose, Peter van Inwagen examines three profound questions: What are the most general features of the world? Why is there a world? And, what is the place of human beings in the world? The third edition includes an entirely new chapter on ontology. The new chapter presents a theory of the nature of being and proceeds to apply this theory to two problems of ontology: the problem of non-existent objects and the problem of universals. Equally valuable as a textbook in a university course or an introduction to metaphysical thinking for the interested layperson, Metaphysics remains a fascinating book for a wide range of readers, from first-time students to the most sophisticated philosophers.

導論寫的挺有趣的。簡直引人入勝,聲情並茂。 說一個明顯的翻譯上的小bug。 譯文第39頁,引用奧義書,上來就“你是藝術!”根據前後文莫名其妙。 關藝術個啥呢? 一看原文:That art Thou! “這就是你!”
評分有位搞海德格爾的朋友翻瞭一下論時間的章節,鄙視地問我:他就講這麼膚淺啊? 海派們看不起“機械的、物理的時間”。那不就像1+1=2一樣簡單麼?他們認為,現象學時間纔是深刻的,重要的,唯一值得探討的。 其實這就是分析哲學的工作方式。打個不太嚴格的比方,幾何公理很簡單...

評分如果有一門學問可以通過自嘲獲得人們的同情和熱愛,通過迴顧自己被拉下王座、牆倒眾推的曆史來博得人們的肅然起敬,通過不斷敘述自己如何被對手毆打的遍體鱗傷逐齣各個理性領域而引發人們對其價值的肯定,那麼它無疑是形上學。

評分This damn book is killing me. And I hate Bradley!!
評分這本書寫得很好笑啊,為什麼大傢這麼嚴肅。然而輕鬆幽默也是有代價的,有些論證並沒有說服力。
